Nothing to worry about - standard definition material should if any thing
look a tad better on a HD monitor mainly because it is a better monitor made
to conform to tighter specs. I have an old Nordemende CRT monitor that was
designed for studio viewing of original material, not HD but certainly much
better than the run of the mill CRT's around, with much better resolution -
VHS and DVD look better on it than a standard monitor.
